Our Story...

When the movie “Dirty Dancing” came out in the late 80's, a Texas born girl immediately developed wishful hope that she too could learn to dance like “Baby” someday. As the youngest of 7 children, her parents simply could not afford to send her to dance lessons. The heart broken little girl nearly gave up hope of ever becoming a dancer. Starting out with two left feet, she finally had the opportunity to learn the art of partner dancing in her early 20’s. Many years later Jenna began teaching ballroom, latin & country dancing to beginners like YOU! In 2013, Jenna founded Fancy Feet Ballroom, Latin & Country; where we turn your two left feet into fancy feet!

Fancy Feet Ballroom started inside The Alley on Bitters; formerly known as Artisan's Alley in San Antonio, TX. More than 4 years later, FFB spent all of 2018 in the Schertz/Cibolo area, but has now relocated to Buda (just south of Austin) as of January 2019, where Jenna teaches out of her spacious in-home studio. You must call, email or TEXT to schedule a lesson. Physical location address will only be given out to PREPAID & SCHEDULED students!

Jenna enjoys being able to work from home and still pursue one of her many passions-- transforming the formerly timid into confident dancers. She specializes in beginner dancers who have little to no dance experience; including wedding and other special event preparation, as well as those looking to start a new hobby that is great for the mind, body and soul!

Jenna reserves her evenings (and some weekends) to work with her loyal and committed students on helping them develop their leader/follower skills. She believes in teaching dance figures that are relevant in the social dance scene versus spending extra time on remedial steps that you aren't likely to see or use in the future.Jenna excels in couples wanting to dance "better" together, as well as LEADERS who don't (yet) have a dancing partner-- could be for a special event or just for fun!​See our Bio page for more information on our instructors!

​Jenn is a mother and wife. She also nurtures and babies Astaire the Cat (RIP), Ginger Rogers the Chihuahua, and Lola the Dog (yes, the one who dances on the stage)!

Jenn knew from a young age that she wanted to be a small business owner— the idea of climbing the corporate ladder and working long hours, while making some millionaire even more wealthy just didn’t sound like her forte. Trying to decide or figure out exactly what kind of business she wanted to have was the larger challenge. Over the years, she has contemplated a wide variety of industries to pursue— accounting, legal, food, and even baby clothing; but they all had one thing in common: Jenn being her own boss! It wasn’t until her early twenties that she was introduced to the world of ballroom dance (loosely defined as any partner dance), but it was LOVE AT FIRST STEP!

Starting out with “Two Left Feet,” Jenn immersed herself in private lessons, group classes, dance socials as well as dancing at local venues that offered a live band and a dance floor. Combined, these activities easily totaled 4-10 hours per week for several months. Jenn knew within 90 days that she wanted to be a dance teacher someday, but also knew that she had A LOT to learn! Jenn was a dedicated student for 5 years before she began learning to be a dance instructor. After a couple years of instructor training, she finally started teaching part-time, and then full-time a few years after that.

In conclusion, after Jenn's passion for dancing and teaching were added to her strong desire to be her own boss as a small business owner, Fancy Feet Ballroom was conceived!
